A few decades ago, dental professionals relied on traditional film and darkrooms to capture X-ray images. These radiographs were then examined under a lightbox for evaluation. Sharing these images with other dentists or specialists meant making physical copies and sending them off.
With digital radiography, this cumbersome process has been transformed into something much more convenient and efficient. Say goodbye to waiting for film to develop in a darkroom—digital sensors now capture high-quality images of your teeth and jaws in less time than traditional methods ever could. Plus, the radiation exposure is significantly lower than with conventional X-ray films.
Digital sensors also produce images with greater clarity and detail. This means your dentist can spot potential issues like cavities, fractures, or gum disease more accurately and at an earlier stage, leading to better treatment outcomes.
Digital radiography also streamlines the provision of care. Unlike traditional X-rays, there's no waiting for a patient's X-rays to develop. Advanced software instantly integrates sensor information to generate clear digital images for evaluation and review. Storing, finding, and sharing these digital images is also a breeze. Once taken, they are automatically organized and stored in the patient's file.
Moreover, digital radiography is environmentally friendly. While traditional X-rays require individual film packets and some hazardous chemicals to process, digital radiography avoids all that. By eliminating waste from disposing of old X-ray films, it's a win for both your oral health and the environment!
